ADTRAN 1200350L1 user manual Bridge/Address Table, Address Table/Aging

Chapter 4: Configuration Overview

Bridge/Address Table

The Router Option Module automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses detected and associates those addresses with the LAN, WAN0, or WAN1 port from which they were received. WAN0 rep- resents Bridge Group 1, and WAN1 represents Bridge Group 2. This menu permits the user to adjust the parameters or rules for the table as addresses are learned.

Address Table/Aging

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This is the maximum time an idle MAC address remains in the table before being removed. The value is in minutes and can range from 0 (which means never age) to 65535. The default is 5.

Address Table/Forward Policy Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When this parameter is set to Unknown (def), any bridge packet with a destination MAC address that is not in the bridge table is for- warded to all other ports. When set to Known, the packet with the unknown destination MAC address is dropped and is not forward- ed.
